Joining the rest of the Three Stripes line-up in swathes of shimmering darkness, adidas have released the “Archetic" GLITCH skin, bringing some shining style to the disruptive silo.

Dropping some time after the Predator, COPA, X and Nemeziz went Archetic  – ‘coz let’s face it, the GLITCH doesn’t conform to the norm – the skin features reflective, iridescent details on an otherwise dark canvas. A pixelated graphic features across the whole upper, wrapping almost entirely round the mid foot section of the sparkling soleplate.

For those not familiar with GLITCH (where’ve you been for the last couple of years?), the boot is made of two components: the innerskin, which locks inside an outerskin. Once you've got your innerskin you're ready to mix it up with as many different outers as you like. And therein lies the customisable beauty of the GLITCH concept. One boot, as many looks as you like. The “Archetic” skin, as always, is only available via the adidas GLITCH App, so if you’re not already, get on it.
